This invention relates to corner bins for kitchen cupboards and theobject of the invention is to provide a bin adapted to be turned on avertical axis and provided with end panels adapted to extendliush withthe faces of the cupboard when the bin is in closed position.

Another object of the invention is to vide a corner bin of thecharacterdescribed provided with shelves adapted to be exposed to viewby turning the bin on its axis.

Another object of the invention is to provide a corner bin for kitchencupboardsin the form of a cylinder mounted on its vertical axis,one-fourth ofthe cylinder being cut away in the form of a segment to'provide end panels for the bin extending flush with the adjacent doorsof the cupboard. These objects andthe several novel fea tures of theinvention are hereinafter more fully described and claimed and thereferred form of construction by which t ese objects are attained isshown in the accompanying drawing in which-fcupboard embodying myinvention. j

Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal section through the corner bin. A

Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3 of 3o Fig. 2.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the bin is built up from a pair of verticalpartitions providing paneled doors 1 whic are secured together at rightangles to each other-so as to extend iiush with the adjacent doors ofthe cupboard as will be 'understood from Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2 aseries of'ra'dial partitions 3 divide the interior of the bin into.segmentary compartments. These compart- 40 ments as shown in Fig. 3 areprovided with shelves 4 and each shelf is provided with an upwardlyextending arcuate flange 5 to revent articles from coming oft' from theshe ves. This device is set on its vertical axis on the pivot pins 6 andthe entire bin turns on these Fig. 1 is a perspective view of akitchenpivots, the pivots being set in the corner of vthe cupboard inorder to mount the bin in q shelves are easily accessible and theshelves roare designed to accommodate all types of articles. With thisarrangement a great amount of shelf room is provided in thesmallestpossible space Without changingthe appearance of the ordinarycupboard.

From the foregoing description it becomes evident that the device isvery simple and eliicient in operation, Will not easily get out oforder, is composed oi few parts and is of consequent low manufacturingcost and provides a device which accomplishes the objects described.

Having thus fully described my invention, its utility and mode ofoperation, what I claim Aand desire to secure by Letters Patent of theUnited States is- The combination with a kitchen cupboard havingportions extending at practically a right angle one to the other andformed of spaced inner and outer vertical walls, the inner walls of thetwo portions terminating short of the point of intersection of thevertical planes occupied thereby respectively, of s a rotarybin'pivotally supported practically at the point of intersectionof theplanes 'o the inner walls ofthe twol cupboard portions, said bin havinga pair of vertical partitions positioned at practically a right angleone s.

with the other and adapted, when the bin is in closed position, tooccupy substantially the same planes as the inner vertical Walls of thecupboard portions and providing anarrangement having the appearance ofan ordinary closed cupboard, said Avertical partitions of the bin andthe inner vertical walls of the two cupboard portions having similarlyformed' outer faces, the remainder of the rotary bin, when in the closedposition, lying within the area defined by the respective planes occuied by the inner and outer vertical walls o the cupboard, a series ofvertical, radially positioned, partition'members in that portion of ,jthe bin within the cupboard when in closed position formin chambers o enat the periphery of the in, and horizontal shelves provided in the saidchambers.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification.
